that manila has to make between a washington in beijing and marcus junior already described a manila relationship with washington as food, very important. but at the same time, he also said what you said that he's country will have to walk a very, very fine line between china and the united states. and in, in your view, what would represent this optimal balance? as far as the philippines are concerned of sun, i think it's, it's what every se, asian country tries to do. and, and that is a rely on the united states for security and defense. well, at the same time, relying on china for economics and for trade. this, the coupling is precarious, meaning other southeast asian countries have failed in their attempts. and the philippines is not used to this because for the longest time its economy was also peg with the u. s. the west. so therefore, this is a challenge for the incoming marcus junior administration, while the detect administration and the president president there has opened the line with, with china marcus. then we'll have the challenge of maintaining it and expanding it, but

international relations expert, joseph gregory mahoney, says manila may keep from picking sides in an attempt to maintain a balance between the opposing powers. i don't think that we're going to see much change, at least not in the short term clearly for what we're seeing from the candidates themselves. their initial concerns are looking at domestic issues within the philippines because they know that china is distracted right now. they know the united states is distracted right now, both with coded or recovering from co that or with the war and ukraine in the case united states. so from all the news that i'm saying they're focus right now on domestic affairs and trying to restart a number of major development projects in the philippines themselves. now, manila isn't naive, it knows china won't be the grand solution to its development needs, but it also knows that china is not a significant danger to talk in security if relations are manage well. so ultimately, i don't see marco's enthusiastically joining a sheet of things, recent call for local security initiative, which major has pr
